Default laydown straight?

I felt like this was a pretty clear laydown at the time, but now I'm wondering if anyone else has another opinion. In retrospect, it looks too wussy. (Note that I planned to raise the turn bet until MP2 called.)

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter

MP1 (t920)
MP2 (t1035)
MP3 (t850)
Hero (t1195)
Button (t915)
SB (t985)
BB (t545)
UTG (t1450)
UTG+1 (t1130)
UTG+2 (t975)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls t15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t15, Button calls t15, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t87.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, Hero checks, Button checks.

Turn: (t87.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t90</font>, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls t90, Hero folds, Button folds.

River: (t267.50) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t125</font>, MP2 folds.

Final Pot: t392.50

I don't see how you can lay this down here. If you're behind to a boat on the flop, then the turn doesn't change anything unless someone has a flush. In retrospect, the fold was probably good, given the river card, but if I'm calling on the flop, I'm pushing on the turn.

The flop was checked around. It was the caller that made me think twice -- looked to me like a low flush draw who got a free card and hit. As i said, if it were only one bettor I would have raised.

But yes, the river made me glad I folded here.

Folding isn't bad either, I suppose, since you're either way ahead or way behind (and if you're ahead, you're highly subject to redraws). At least you didn't call, which would have been worst of all. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
